also applies to hero's "special skills"

though strange enough, one of them with an icon of a fist or some such that is supposed to give you 1 max dmg free hit doesn't do the damage shown..

I can confirm arcane arrow is showing that it is doing 3 to 4 damage on the screen, but only does 1 damage every time it seems.

Unsure if that's a display issue, or an issue with that spell though.

I can also confirm this.

I've had spells consistently show 10 or more damage and do 4-5, or in the case of Arcane Arrow, it always, always, always gets resisted. In two games it has never successfully struck anything.

Archery seems to be doing the same, but at least it consistently does some damage.

In terms of functionality, the spell may be checking Resistance, posting resistance damage, then dealing that damage to armor reduction. (I've never seen it do more than posted, only less).

Yep, my archer hits and a 17 appears from the target. But on the smal picturel window on the right only "3" is deducted from it's total.

I noticed the same. And a few units are resisting my archers.

Yeah I had some Ythri 'Observer(?)' units defending a city. As I only had archers in my group, I killed the other unit (Spouse) but after about 15 hits with 'resist' appearing each time, I ended up leaving the combat, switching over to Melee weapons and re-entering the city to beat the Observer unit up. The 'Observer' unit only had a 5 defense, and a spear.

Unless that's a special ability for certain Empire units and such (missile weapons automatically miss), this probably needs to be looked at...

I'll be hopping on this shortly.
